Mesut Ozil

[Horatio]

He doesnt say he never got the call from Barca. He said that he flew over to meet with officials from the club to discuss move but go the feeling Guardiola did not want him as never met or contacted him.

Later after his move the description of Mourinho mocking his attitude to to tackling is class.

Ah okay.

This is the excerpt I read: "But Josep Guardiola was not present at those meetings and he didn't call me up in the days after. He didn't even send me a text. He showed me that he wasn't interested in me. My interest in a transfer to Barca dissipated quickly afterwards".

(translated from Dutch)

 

[Barcaman]

Pep wanted Cesc.

 

[El Flaco]

Özil on Guardiola not meeting him in person when the German visited Barcelona:

"Guardiola did not call me in the following days either. He didn’t even send an SMS. He did not send me a signal that he wanted me to sign. Accordingly, my enthusiasm for Barcelona steadily declined.

Because of Guardiola's behavior, I did not want to go to Barcelona. Especially because Mourinho fought so much at the same time. He was so convincing. So heartfelt. So trying hard. He was the complete opposite of the Barça coach. So I decided for Jose Mourinho & Real Madrid.”

Cesc was better than Ozil. At least Cesc had some synergy with Messi. No guarantee Ozil would, and then Madrid's style of play was very open too, and he was a starter there.

In the end, both are more or less the same player.

Ozil's better than Cesc. He would have never slowed down the play like Cesc did for example. And he also is pretty pacey himself!

"Mourinho screamed at me 'Do you think two nice passes are enough? You think you are too good to enter a duel. You think you are so good that you can play at 50 per cent. Do you know what it looks like when you enter a duel? Let me show you.' He then tiptoed around the dressing room with his hands close to his body and pursed lips," read an extract from Ozil's book 'Die Magie des Spiels', which is being serialised in Bild.

Best bit of the extracts so far.

I don't think he is. Ozil manages to be even lazier.

Briliant game against Liverpool, if you guys cant get Coutinho, you should buy Øzil.

 

[BarcaOG]

He looks as lazy as Arda. Incredible to play at a big club and giving no shit.

 

[clemente]

I feel like throwing up just from the thought of him wearing our shirt, knowing barto these rumours might come true.

 

[Blaugrana Bull]

Nö thx.

 

[EdmondDantes]

Ghostzil is nothing but a waste of a shirt 99% of the time.


No thanks.
